Description

This catalogue describes the ASTRAL IMTA species of the future. These species have been trialled at the ASTRAL IMTA labs in Scotland, Ireland, Brazil and South Africa and have been identified as the optimal species to be cultivated within each type of system, based on their cultivation performance, resilience, profitability and sustainability. The system types include open water IMTA (Scotland and Ireland); land-based pump ashore IMTA with partial recirculation (South Africa) and recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) using biofloc IMTA (Brazil). The potential for IMTA in Argentina and Nigeria is also described.
